How To Get Just About ANYTHING For FREE...
Or at least practically free

As a single mother of two, I am always looking for ways to cut corners and shave costs. I don't really have the time to clip coupons and scour through sales ads as much as I would like so since I spend primarily all of my time online, I have found a very easy way to ensure my pocketbook doesn't suffer while I provide the essentials for my family. I find free stuff.

Yes, free stuff. It's all over the internet. Since I've embarked on this information highway of webjunk two years ago, I have been able to attain a 27" console television, a queensize mattress and boxspring set, a couch, a computer desk and office chair, a printer, a microwave and several other items of which the total value well exceeds $3500 but I never paid one red penny. I got it all for FREE!!!

How did I do this you may wonder? Well, the internet is a valuable tool that allows anyone with just the most basic pc savviness to enter a whole world full of useful resources. With just a flew clicks of a mouse button, you can find a wealth of items being given away for little of nothing or FREE.

A simple Google search for "free stuff" yields hundreds of sites completely devoted to coupons, samples and other free stuff being given away across the WWW. These sites are many in number and sometimes hard to navigate due to the thousands of popup ads embedded in their shells and therefore lose their appeal after awhile.

A better source for free stuff are two of my favorite websites: Freecycle and Craig's List. These two sites offer a wide variety of free items up for grabs by anyone who can get to them in a timely fashion.

Freecycle is a non-profit organization that lives by the concept of one person's trash is another one's treasure. Everything offered on the many local level sites is absolutely free and the sites are moderated to ensure the site remains true to its cause. The idea is to keep useful items from being thrown in the trash and thereby cutting down waste and at the same time helping someone in need get an item they may not otherwise afford or be able to find. Just about anything you can think of gets offered for free on this site.

Craig's List is a free classified billboard ad site. It is free to post a listing and the listings are divided into categories of which my favorite is, of course, FREE. Individuals can list their items, services or wants on the board and get connected to the millions of users that frequent each of the major city boards across the globe. I have found everything from free concert tickets to webdesign on this site.

There are billions of other sources of FREE stuff on the web. If you would like to know more about where and how to find more free or practically free items, leave me a comment to let me know what you are looking for or you can email contactme@niquenyafulbright.com.
